Fight choreographer Chibi once again bring the goods to the mano e mano fight between hero and villain. The fight has elements of the old school kung fu type style of fight; poses to stop the action and create drama, the last girl interjects for a brief moment, lots of hand techniques, body control, stance work and the smart use of acrobatics.  Actors Nick Den and Lincoln Centeio really showcase their talents and the post-apocalyptic scenery helps with the choreography.

Be sure to watch this film. It has heart, a great fight scene, good scenery, and a little of the Western movie genre aspect to it. I can’t wait to see more from Spectacle Productions! for more info on this great short visit The Last Girl Facebook Page.
